CLINICAL EFFICACY OF THE HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY REMENS IN THE RELIEF OF INTERMENSTRUAL PAIN SYNDROME

Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of remens versus long-acting oral contraception in the treatment of patients with intermenstrual pain syndrome (IMS). Subjects and methods. Ninety patients, including 60 women with IMS, were followed up. All underwent a comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination and psychoemotional and autonomic assessments before and 3 months after long-acting remens or marvelon treatment. Results. Three months following complex treatment, all major symptoms of IMS disappeared or were mild in both groups of patients. Remens or marvelon intake provided a positive effect in relieving the psychoemotional and autonomic disorders in 60 and 50% of the patients, respectively. Conclusion. The findings suggest that the use of combined homeopathic remedy remens as the method of choice in the therapy of asthenic, autonomic, depressive, and psychoemotional manifestations of intermenstrual pain syndrome is warranted.
